Is it better to get packages from Resorts including excursions and transfers or should i look directly outside to save money. I was consdiering Romans or Captain Morgans. Are these good resorts?

The resort is charging 150 for a plane ride that I can do for 15 in a boat?

I really just want a good room/resort with breakfast and eat out in the town for the rest.

How can I save on excursions and transfer back and forth to the mainland.

My wish list - Snorkeling in Hol Chan and Sharks ...whateverCaye Caulker tripSunset sailBBQ picnic thing looks fun. Also someone who might be able to teach me to sail in a hobbie kat or catamaran. What else?

A: Those are both mid to high end resorts. If you are on a budget there are others that are priced lower.

A: Round trip flight from International is $120US you can do Municipal for $67US. I don't think round trip by boat is only $15 (I never bother, the time to do the trip outweighs the extra few bucks by plane which only takes 15 or 20 minutes vs. 1.5 hours). Either way you have to factor in cab costs to Municipal or the water taxi.

I really just want a good room/resort with breakfast and eat out in the town for the rest.

A: There are plenty of resorts out there, check this site for more options. CM is well out of town so you will likely eat at the resort more. Ramons is in town so you could eat in town more often.

How can I save on excursions and transfer back and forth to the mainland.

A: Book all your excursions with one operator, they will discount you if you book multiple excursions. Three for two and such depending on the number of people in your group. The more business you give them the more they will discount.

Advance bookings don't help that much. Face to face works the best. If you try to play one off the other you won't get anything so pick one that looks good to you.

Google any of the above names and add +Belize and you can find them. If they don't respond click on my name and send me a private message and I'll contact them for you (send me your e-mail in your PM).

You sound like a person who would like Caribbean Villas. They have the Water Sports Center where you can learn to sail catamarans. They are reasonably priced, lovely grounds, have a bar, lots of breakfast places near and have simple breakfast I believe at their bar, all tour operators can pick you up at their dock, and they are close to town for dinner and evening fun.So that's everything you want!
